"This is …"
Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that he stuffed the magnetic confinement containing antimatter into the inlet of the planetary furnace, and then he activated interdimensional travel at that moment.
However, to his surprise, he was not in the familiar mansion at the Fishbone base, but in complete darkness.
He didn't know how long this loneliness lasted.
In that unseen world, he felt something approaching him. It was like a ghost, getting close to his ear. Very quickly, it moved along the tip of his hair and moved to the side of his body.
"You're here?"
"You are?"
"We've met before."
Jiang Chen was silent for a long time, then asked tentatively.
"This is the Void?"
"Yes."
The unseen spirit that was circling around him said softly in a mysterious voice.
"Why am I here?" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. "I remember that I should have successfully traveled back to the apocalypse."
His throat moved slightly, and after a while, he squeezed the words out of his throat.
"In other words, am I already dead?"
The unseen apparition laughed.
Jiang Chen was certain that it was laughter.
However, what surprised him was that the laughter was not ridicule, nor did it contain the contempt of a higher civilization toward a lower civilization. Instead, it carried a hint of relief.
"The dead can't come here. You can rest assured."
When he heard this, his heart that was hanging in the air was finally at ease.
Sacrifice yourself to save Earth?
No kidding.
He was never such a selfless person.
From a long time ago, he had been working hard to manage his backyard in the apocalypse. If the modern world was really powerless, he would immigrate to the apocalypse with his beloved and continue to be a local tyrant.
However, he liked this world more, not to mention that he had something in this world that he couldn't give up. So until the last moment, he tried his best to make various attempts.
"Do you remember when you were in City K?"
"You mean … the T virus?" Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and asked.
He knew that these Remnants of the Void could secretly observe the worlds that were connected to them. However, what confused him was that he didn't understand why it mentioned the past of adulthood at this time.
"Do you still remember that time, the Kurofune tried to assassinate you, and you tried to use your interdimensional travel ability to escape from the dangerous species on this side …" The voice was like a ghost, surrounding Jiang Chen. "But you failed."
Jiang Chen's expression changed.
He had already guessed what the ghostly voice intended to say.
The space colonization ship could use a certain method, perhaps Klein particle wave, or something else, to block his interdimensional travel ability for a short period of time by paying a certain price.
If that was the case …
There's no reason why they wouldn't do it at the last minute.
Those bugs hoped to obtain his ability, but if his ability became an obstacle to their invasion of Earth, of course, they wouldn't mind getting rid of this obstacle.
"You mean … I didn't successfully transmigrate?" Jiang Chen's voice carried a hint of uncertainty and bitterness.
If that was the case, then he should have been caught up in the explosion …
"That's the case."
"But didn't you say that the dead can't come here?" Jiang Chen grasped the glimmer of hope and questioned the invisible ghost.
"That's right."
An expected answer.
But Jiang Chen couldn't understand.
If he was caught up in the explosion, then he wouldn't have survived. But now someone told him that he didn't die, and he was still alive …
"You're really lucky. That's an existence that can only be comprehended by a higher civilization … in other words, the so-called Kardashev Level III civilization. Yet, you've discovered it by chance and used it on yourself." The ghostly voice sighed softly.
"I don't understand what you mean."
"You will understand." The voice began to become ethereal. "Those who have been here will more or less comprehend it."
"Wait —"
Jiang Chen paused for a moment. Just as he wanted to ask, the voice moved away from him.
Gradually, tangible objects began to appear around him.
He tried to open his eyes, reach out his hands, and grab the objects floating in the darkness, like a drowning child.
However, just as Jiang Chen tried to do so, the fog around him seemed to have dissipated in an instant.
At this moment, he finally saw clearly what was floating around him.
Power armors, kinetic skeletons, PK2000 rifles, Hummingbird drones, piles of crystals … and even a few boxes of canned luncheon meat that had been stored for god knows how long.
"This is … my storage dimension? Fu * k … How did I get here? "
A helpless smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
But if he thought about it carefully, it wasn't completely unreasonable.
The subspace itself was an existence between two parallel world lines, and the void was independent of all world lines, a unified and isolated existence. The black hole created by the detonation of antimatter instantly pulled him into the void. Perhaps it was because of the protection of the group of ghosts, or perhaps it was because of other reasons, after the miniature black hole dissipated, he wasn't violently thrown out of the black hole. Instead, he broke through the invisible wall and stayed in the void.
Just then, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed that in his subspace, there was a light he had never seen before.
It was a golden object.
Just like a lump of gravel, the golden object exuded a faint shimmer.
"What is this …"
Jiang Chen muttered, reached out his hand, and tried to touch the golden object, but his fingertips easily passed through it. It was as if it didn't exist in this world, and what remained here was just a shadow alternating between the virtual and the real.
"Forget it, let's not worry about this for now. Let's think about how to get out of here."
Although Jiang Chen was concerned about the golden gravel left in his subspace, there was obviously a more important problem to solve at the moment.
In the past, he only sneaked his consciousness here, and he had never put himself into the subspace.
First of all, he definitely couldn't go back to the modern world. Who knew what the situation there was now …
In short, he would go back to the apocalypse first. Then, through the neutrino channel, he would reset his coordinates in the modern world to Coconut Island.
After determining the goal, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, and just like he had done countless times before, he silently said in his mind …
